Lover

Description

You're going to fall in love with this 13 eyelet mid-calf heel. Not only does it have an open lacing system that will tie you up tight like a corset and show a bit of skin, it also has an inside zipper so you don't really need to use the laces once you've found your fit. Perched on the Mini heel and rubber F-sole, this is a high heel designed for the woman who doesn't wear heels. Solidly constructed with beautiful leather uppers and linings with contrasting piping and a crown peaked top line makes this lover sexy, stable and timeless. Go on, fall in love. We dare you!

Mini Lovers are going to the Nobel Prize Ceremony and Dinner Party

Yup, that's right! I'm hoping I'm not breaking any Nobel rules, but hey! Mini Lovers look great everywhere! AND they are so comfortable I'll be fine all >8 hours of the Nobel day!

I found these at Amazon for an awesome price. After I bought them, I heard that buying Fluevogs from Amazon is not a good idea, so I checked mine carefully. The stitching was tight and straight. The signature on the boots was the same, and they looked and smelled brand new. I guess I had a good experience. But on to the actual review! I love these boots. I have larger calves and will probably have to get longer laces for these beauties, but I'm okay with that. They are very comfortable and look awesome. I can't wait to wear them with tights to see the color peek through the laces. About sizing: my normal shoe size is 6.5, and I got Lover in 6.5 with a very good fit. Because sizing recommendations are all over the place in the the reviews, I would recommend you go to a store and try them on if you can. I love these boots and am impatiently waiting for cooler weather. Lover is another awesome addition to my boot collection.

First Fluevogs!!

Jackie - United States

I was so excited when I found out we were getting a store in Denver and my friend and I were there the first day. I'd had my eye on the Mini family for years and I finally got to see them in person, love at first sight!! the supple leather makes these divine to slip into and the stability of the boot makes the heel so easy & comfortable to walk in. I wish i could wear them every day:)

New colours for Minis - Lover

Jody - Canada

Hi, I bought my Minis Lover boots about 6 or 7 years ago. I still LOVE them as much as the day I first bought them. The problem is that they are pretty worn in and I really want to get another pair. I currently have them in black and am looking for a different colour. I have seen older ones in burgundy on Ebay but would like to get them new. I have been waiting for about a year for new colours to be added to this style and sadly, I am still waiting. These are the best shoes I have ever owned! I can walk all day in them despite the heel. Please tell me you will be added new colours in soon?

Everyone Loves a Lover

Cecily - Canada

Bought these in a size 12 at a killer price (not at a Fluevog store) even though I wasn't sure they'd fit. Had to get longer laces to fit my chunky calves, and I'm showing a bit more skin than most of you with svelte calves will, but it doesn't matter a bit. These are great boots and I get lots of compliments on them.

Trust everyone when they say they run a bit small: I had both shoes stretched for width and one shoe stretched for length and now they fit perfectly. I feel like such a kick ass babe in these shoes! @>-

LOVE these boots

Ann - New Jersey

I picked up mine yesterday on Fluevog Day, and was greated in the shop with Champaign and Cupcakes. I Toasted my Lovers and tried them on once again, before Toasting with the young man who kept my Lovers safe on Layaway.

In all seriousness, I love these shoes! I've had so many comments on them today and I just got them yesterday! They are comfortable and look fantastic in a basic black. I have teal shoelaces I might switch to. But right now, I'm just enjoying and loving my Fluevogs!

Hoping...

Misspixie - Long Beach

Alas, I love these boots but they are too big. I would love it if you could consider making these in a size 5 for those of us with smaller feet.

a lover's lover

Patricia - Calgary

I am so in love with these boots! I retired my olive pair back in the spring because I wore them to near destruction, and I bought a pair in lilac. It's amazing how well the lilac pair go with so many things of different colours - black, grey, brown, green, blues, purples, etc.... I'm not making the same mistake like I did with the green ones - I just bought a second pair of the lilacs last week. Hopefully they'll come back again sometime in the future - I will buy a third and fourth pair! Eventually I should be sensible and buy a black pair too. I'm looking forward to more colours!
ON FIT - I have a wide toe box and a high instep: in most fluevogs I'm a 8.5 but since these lovlies are adjustable, after a couple of wears the 8's fit pretty good - I can get away with 8.5 and an insole.

A staple for your shoe wardrobe

Christine - Seattle

I wear these with everything. They are my favorite black boots and they are fantastic with any outfit. I have them in black but am tempted to get them in lilac as well.

A must-have pair of boots

Alison - San Diego, CA

These are a staple in my closet--I have them in Lilac--and they look great with everything from jeans to skirts and dresses. The laces work like a corset for your legs--you lace them up to fit your calves the first time, then just use the zipper--aye, so sexy! I sized up a half size (from 6-1/2 to 7) for a perfect fit.

love these vogs

judy tapley - texas

i love these vogs received them on friday then bought 3 more pair on saturday i tried them on for my husband and he is not a shoe person BUT he liked them said they are COOL i wear a size 6 but in these i got the 6.5 and they fit great hope to see these in more colors i just discovered vogs i am soooo happy that i did i called antoine in new york for info on sizing and he was great!!!!!

Obsessed

Jessie - Boston, MA

I own these in boots in both black and sage and I wear them almost every day. I LOVE THESE BOOTS! They're very flattering to my legs and easy to walk in, even for someone as ferociously clumsy as I am. The rubber soles make navigating the bricks, cobblestones, and other uneven surfaces of Boston a breeze, and they absorb shock pretty well too.

I have large calves (thanks, roller derby) and these stop at the perfect spot in my leg - just before my leg widens with my beefy mcbigbig skating muscles. The lacing is very accommodating and I can open the top of the boot to fit my legs just so in a way that works with the design. All too often my legs look like pugs in tight sweaters when I try on boots with open lacing like this, but not so with these. I'm thrilled that these look and feel so great!

long term love

Roxy - Edmonton

Bought a pair in black about, wow, 7 years ago. I couldn't really afford them at the time and had to put them on the credit card. No regrets, the card is long ago paid off and the shoes are still one of my favs. Comfortable, great to dance in and distinctive.

Very Sexy!!

Julia - Texas

I love these boots. I wore them to my last chemotherapy session and a representative from the American Cancer Society asked to photograph me for a presentation on looking good and keeping your spirits up when you have cancer - and she made sure to get my Fluevogs in the picture. They always make ME feel better. I have several pairs of Minis and I wear a 7.5. These fit perfectly, but the toe box is a little shorter than some of the other models, so you might want to go up half a size. I recommend calling a store and talking to somebody about proper fit (another shout out to the fantastic Leah and staff at the Seattle store!). I was concerned that the lacing inside the boot would bother me, but it doesn't at all and you can adjust them for the perfect fit. Another great pair of Fluevogs that I look forward to wearing for many years to come.

purrrfection

hell n'back - austin

it's hard to decide which are my fav, but these are in the top 5. easy to wear for hours on end, comfy F sole & (lower) mini heel. adjustable corset laces on side as well. mine are cherry red w/ pink piping. a purrrfect combo. :-D

Love Them!!

Honey - Toronto

I have these in lilac, they are absolutely wonderful, super comfy and oh, so sexy!

Love my Mini Lovers!

Tara - Toronto

These were my first pair of Fluevogs and I'm committed! Never to stray... They are so comfy with the wide toe area and great support. And unique to "boot"! I have them in black but the purple is calling me... ()-)

Mmmmm...best boots ever

Jo Collins - Brisbane Australia

Only found Fluevog a few months ago whilst searching for Steampunk type boots and immediately NEEDED some. Though they're expensive and who know's if they'd suit me. After another few weeks of drooling and seeing how expensive other Good boots were, but not half as gorgeous, I succumbed, and TODAY THEY ARRIVED. Wow. Gorgeous, and even make my legs look decent. I'm an AU size 9 and ordered a 10 which seems to be perfect, although haven't left the house yet. They'll be on my feet all day tho :) THANKYOU MR FLUEVOG from a non heel wearing, steampunk loving, wanting to be girly, but individual type Aussie chick. x P-)

Mini Love-affair

Lees - Just outside Toronto

After months of drooling over a pair of khaki and black on the web, I had the opportunity to go and try them in TO. It was realy set to be a quick visit to test sizes as my feet are notoriously wide in the midfoot and I was prepared to be disappointed. Friends dumped me at the lights on Queen and circled the block to pick me up. When I was MIA after 15 minutes, in they rushed to find me not only flushed with exhilaration at the stunning fit but sporting my newly purchased "Oh my God....RED? You have these in RED? Ooohh...chills...!!!!" Mini-Lover.

So....a couple of years later, the Mini Love-affair is still running hot (despite serious increase in the size of my calves...you gotta love an adjustable boot!) and has been ramped up slightly with the introduction of another party to the now-threesome.....a matching red coat! Dynamite.
I am hardly a fashionista but these babies let me embrace my inner Jessica-Rabbit-Drag-Queen.

Love these boots!

Alison Young - Melbourne

Just got these today, and I love them so much already. I don't wear heels, since they tend to hurt my feet, but these are sooo comfortable, while still looking amazing. And the leather lining is fantastic. :-)

Love my lovers

Philippa - Bermuda

after seeing a picture of a pair of Fluvos over six months ago i was converted... or obsessed what ever you will call it. I spent many hours pouring over the website deciding which i loved more.

Than on a recent trip to Boston i made my first Pilgrimage to my first Fluevog store.

The Boston girls are awesome, and I sat perched in my Wing backed throne as they paraded my sections out for me to peruse. i got down to 3 pairs and ended up settling on A pair of Pearl Hart in wind and balck... but lo and behold my lovely husband was so taken with the mini Lovers here that he bought them for me as a special treat.

I love shoes but am not a heel wearer as i can never find ones comfortable.... i can easily wear these and my other fluevogs and in the i feel like wonder-woman... love love love them.

also I love boots but rarely find any that fit as i have very muscular calves, so these with their custom fit are like a second skin. i wear them with anything, Denim dress for dinner, 3/4 pants skirt for Brunch...anything.

Thank you Mr Fluevog and the Boston Shop girls for my awesome Lovers

Wanted to...but couldn't :(

Jennifer - Ottawa

So wanted to buy these as a I own a MINI so with these I'd be a true "MINI Lover" (haha) but could not zip them up over my ankle. I don't have big ankles but they were way to tight, maybe I should have tried an 8.5....sigh

dreamy lilac lovers

Marita McC - Hamilton, Ontario Canada

i have been vogging for some time now - as my collection grows each new addition always amazes me - and when i get my hands on them well then i am over the moon - thanks to all the fluevog elves and of course john himself weeee life is joyous

Wow!

Nannette - Lake Tahoe

Bless you, you did them in Lilac!!!

elizabeth - vancouver, bc

they are lovely!

KImberly - USA

I LOVE THEM! I was afraid to buy them sight unseen and untried ( by phone) but when they got here, they fit like a glove! The string ties on the side helped to make them custom! Watch out! This Fall you will not be able to speak to me!

awesome boots!

Brenda - san francisco

They run a bit smaller, and have a nice snug fit. I wear them with both jeans and skirts. Comfortable and totally worth the purchase!

A Vog-a-holics favorite

Nannette - South Lake Tahoe, CA

The minis are my favorite and are unsurpassed in style and comfort. They look like a fabulous pair of heels and feel like tennis shoes. I teach school and my students call these my training heels. I have 2 pairs of the Mini Lover boots and get rave reviews every time I wear them. Don't hesitate, these boots work with everything and always make a statement. They do seem to run a half size small. Just ask Denny in San Francisco for sizing. He is an expert and you can never go wrong if you listen to him!

Stands the test of time

christine - canada

These boots have been awesome!! I have owned mine for 7 years and am only now breaking down to buy a new pair. I have onl had to replace the heel cap. I have worn them through the snow in Canada and shopped the all over New York. They are what I wear when I need to look cool and still be able to tramp all over the place. Honestly have never worn ANY piece of clothing or footwear this long. And I still love the style!!

erica - athens, GA

These boots are the second pair of Fluevogs I've purchased. I've worn them to a wedding, to dinner, to rock shows, and to late night dance parties. They don't get uncomfortable. I'm not really a boot person, but had been looking for the one pair I wanted for years (literally) and these boots are totally satisfying.

I'm smitten

Gwen - Ireland

I accidently discovered Fluevog on a holiday in New York a few years ago. I was so excited to find such comfortable shoes and funky too. I'm hooked ever since. I always need a half size bigger in Fluevogs than other brands. :- My latest purchase - mini lovers... i love 'em!!

Unique boot! Fit is a little tricky!

Jenaveve - Fresno, Ca

I am a dyed in the wool Voger, but when I ordered these boots I was told I needed to go up a half size. The truth is- these boots run VERY short in the toe, so if you have long toes you'll need to go up an entire size. I unfortunately need to send mine back. Soooo sad....

MO Perce - Austin, TX

These boots are incredibly hot on. They are made from supple, form-fitting leather and have excellent squishy heels. I can wear them for hours and hours and my feet never hurt!

Lily - Ontario

It's impossible to explain how much I love these shoes. I've only bought 1 (maybe 2?) pair of Vogs since just because I keep on wearing these. All the time, to all kinds of occasions, with all kinda of outfits and they always work. From thick socks in the fall to putting them with cute pink skirts in the summer they always work. They also always attract compliments which makes up for the lack of new Vogs, the lack of which is bordering on the ridiculous at this point.

Monica - Los Angeles

I own these and another pair of Mini boots. They are teriffic shoes. I would suggest buying them a half size larger than usual.

Love Love Love Fluevog

Sara Zimmerman - Philadelphia

I can't get enough of Fluevog - got these shoes in black years ago - and just snapped them up in sage. They are the most comfortable heels I've ever worn. No matter which pair of Vogs I wear, I end up having to explain where I got them.

I'm a vog-virgin no longer!!!

brenda english - nanaimo bc

...these boots freakin' rock!!!! I have wanted a pair of Fluevogs' for years and finally I got 'em! Service was terrific, delivery was fast, came with 2 congratulations cards from staff (cool touch), they fit great and get more comfortable with each wearing. I'm now totally hooked and can hardly wait to visit the Vancouver store. Thanks soooo much you guys for looking after me as well as you did. Great experience all 'round. I love them!!! bren

sweet!

rhonda - kelowna

My first pair of Fluevogs, I was a Fluevog virgin. Amazing boots, mine are red. I have my eye on another pair but I'm limiting myself to one pair per paycheque!

my first pair...

Stephanie - San Francisco

these were the first fluevogs i purchased...and now i own 14 pairs. i am not kidding. when i finally met jf in the flesh last year, i started listing off to him all of my different pairs...he told me i had a problem. :-D bottom line is, i bought these because i thought they were cool looking, and it started a love affair with unique, comfortable, AWESOME shoes. buy them. any of them. you won't be disappointed.

First Fluevogs, but will not be the last

CJ - Toronto

Since I was a university student in Vancouver hearing everyone talk about Fluevogs amazing shoes, I wanted to own a pair. But I was broke at the time and couldn't imagine paying what it cost to own any pair. This Christmas my sister-in-law lured me into the shop in Vancouver and I was immediately sold on these beautiful sage boots...I've been wearing them in Toronto and getting amazing compliments, and they are SO comfortable, that I can't wait to own more JFs!!! So thank you for starting a new addiction!

LOVE the LOVER

Stacey in AZ - Phoenix

I wanted these shoes for sooooo long.. Was worth the wait no doubt!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these boots

Margaret Ann - St. John's Newfoundland

I absolutely LOVE these boots. They are sooooo very sexy and I never fail to get comments on them whenever I wear them out. AND they are incredibly comfortable, to boot LOL!! Now....which do I want next??? Thanks John for starting this obsession!!!

Love. Them.

Tania - Ontario

What gorgeous little treats these are...the pair that I own are actually the earlier version in red. The fit of these boots is a shade small in length; go up half a size when ordering these. This being said, the F-sole is THE most comfortable that I've tried so far from the 'vog collection. And the compliments...oh my! Now, I've quite an eclectic and broad shoe collection, but these have garnered the greatest feedback from friends and strangers. Have I already mentioned how comfortable the F-sole is?
